No, these are not the lowest-price crew socks available on Amazon. But I find them so worth the cost. Of course they’re adorable, with the various cool colors and designs. But also, the fabric is terrific, so soft and comfy and yet so sturdy and warm. The fabric on the soles, toes and heels is double thick, really sturdy and good to walk on, while the rest of the sock is lighter weight, so they don’t feel overly thick and they fit nicely into my shoes. They stay up. Awesome!
